SOTD Tuesday, February 15, 2011

5/8 Griffon XX, No. 60, Carbo-Magnetic
Full Hollow, Spike Point
Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
The Real Shaving Co. Shaving Cream
Parker Medium Badger
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
British Sterling Cologne for Men
Results: Amazing!

The newly honed Griffon performed with honors and provided a very smooth, close and comfortable shave. This is the first time using the RS Shave Cream and it is very creamy and dense. It is available at the local Rite Aid Drug Stores for $3.+ bucks for a 5 Oz. tube. The Parker Badger brush is starting to break in nicely and loose the funky weasel smell and it's performance is also top notch. All in all, this mornings shave is one that makes it worth while to go to all the trouble and expense to collect all this shave gear. Sometimes, I look at the cabinets and drawers stuffed full of stuff and I think "Do I really don't need all this stuff" but,...thing is ...I want it! LOL Have a great shave Gentlemen!

After five days of not shaving
"B-Days & Anniversary" We finally
got home and settled in and I
needed a shave in a bad way !
Had to take it down with clippers
first, way to much beard to try
with razor alone. Took a pass WTG
Then XTG Then another WTG and
I'm once again Catfish Belly Smooth !!!

Thanks everyone for your kind
B-Day & Anniversary wishes
last Friday !

Hey David,
SLS is routinely used by the staff in the lab...we use it (albeit with high concentrations - usually ~5-20%) to denature proteins we isolate from tissues for analysis

PEG comes in different molecular weights. In medical diagnostics, doctors use it as a tumor imaging or fluorophore tracing agent (in blood). It has many common uses...A lot of researchers, including my lab are focusing on the drug delivery aspect of PEGs (we use various derivatives). Lots of uses: You probably know PEG from your every experiences. It is used as an antifreeze in engine coolants (replaced Ethylene Glycol), the ink in injet printers. In cremes, it is mainly used as a thickener. It probably doesn't do too much harm, but since the effects are not yet fully known, I prefer to stay away from it.

I'll stop there
